Consensus model of the phylogeny of DNA 5mC / RNA m5C methyltransferases. Dnmt1 and Dnmt2/Dnmt3 enzymes have independent origin in the prokaryotic DNA methyltransferases. The putative precursor of the Dnmt2 family changed its substrate preference from DNA to RNA (indicated with *). Green shading denotes DNA methyltransferases, pink denotes RNA methyltransferases.
